 Calcium and Vitamin powder

I need to get some more vitamin and calcium powder and I was wondering what I should get? Just anything without D3? Thanks!

It must have d3 if using artificial lights (a heat light and a 10.0 UVB both). Only use no d3 if getting natural unfiltered sunlight. I like repashy super foods vitamins...there’s a great nutrition chart on beautiful dragons.com.

I have heard that bearded dragons make their own D3. You might be right though. I will let some other people reply and see what they say.Thanks

I use liquid calcium a few times a week, and liquid multivitamins every so often along with calcium complex powder daily. I get all my supplements from here Link

It must have NO D3 if the dragon has any access to Ultra Violet Rays......the dragon makes its own D3 and too much can be toxic. The only time you would use D3 is if the dragon wan in a basement where it never got any sun. So if he has a UVB bulb and you take him outside, then NO D3!!!!!

So in the winter when it is to cold to take him out, use D3? What kind of calcium and vitamin powder do you use? Thanks!

In the winter, if he has a UVB bulb, no D3...............the UVB bulb is just like the sun. It is not fun watching your dragon have a seizure or smack his head against the glass over and over and over.

Most vitamins have some D3 in them too, so that would add to the amount of D3 you are giving to your dragon. The little amount in the vitamins are ok, but now they do sell vitamins with no D3.

This is the calcium I use. You can order it from LLL Reptiles.




Calcium no D3
